FUN: Essays on a Life Embraced is a collection of humorous and hopeful slice-of-life stories written by local comedienne Aline Weiller, who finds joy in the ordinary. Written in the author’s sharp, clever and light hearted style, FUN provides a glimpse of Weiller’s Gen X past through childhood, college, work, marriage and parenting, while performing stand-up comedy and showing up for her family and friends. Deeply observant, Aline’s wordsmithed pieces are all heart: whether she’s spilling family tales that resonate, paying superfan homage to celebrities, or riffing on her decade-apropos hairstyles, she’s all in.
It's a light and breezy read in these troubled times, and I recommend it highly. A delightful collection of poignant, insightful and entertaining stories, FUN: Essays on a Life Embraced is a must read. I enjoyed the 80s references and the walk down memory lane of my own childhood. I also am the keeper of photos, a lover of Donny Osmond, Carrie Fisher and a good hair day.
As one of the recent reviews stated, "this collection of essays is like a cherished variety show… a little bit of everything and something for everyone! Such a joy to view the world from Weiller’s eyes and to bask in nostalgia!" Aline Weiller's book explores pivotal moments that capture the various stages of her life, and I think you will enjoy reliving your own memories as you read.
